They're apparently CRAZY intelligent. Researchers have also put food inside a jar and they have figured out how to unscrew it and get to the food in less than an hour. That's at FIRST exposure to a jar. Cthulhu is REAL!

The "Octupus-and-the-jar" thing has been known for a long time.  I remember a decade ago, reading that once the octopus eventually figures out how to open the jar, he will open it more readily if it's contents are immediately replenished, but his retention of his knowledge of how to open it dissipates within a day and he will basically be back to square one by then.
